I just recently installed Xebian, and I've been trying to install gaim to no avail. I tried apt-get install gaim, and synaptic, and neither of them worked. They both give me an error message that 3 packages couldn't be found. Anyone know why that is? and is there an easier way to install gaim?

I also tried installing the linux versions of aim and yahoo.

Aim wouldn't work because of something to do with older library files that don't come with Debian/Xebian, and yahoo just wouldn't install (i got a status 2 message in dkpg).

Well never mind, I managed to compile it, I just use it because my screen resolution is to small
